  1. Phase 1 — Find your most profitable skill
    Role: you are a business strategist.

My background, experience and skills:
[describe]

Task: find the 3 skills I already have that are most monetizable. Rank them by:
- income potential

- how quickly I can start earning with each one
  2. Phase 2 — Package the skill as an offer
    My skill: [skill]

Task: help me turn this skill into a clear service offer I can sell.
1. Define the specific outcome I deliver.
2. Say who needs it the most.
3. Tell me what to charge.
4. Write a pitch of one paragraph that I can use today to win my first paying client.
  3. Phase 3 — Land the first 3 paying clients
    My service: [service]
My target client: [target client]

Task: build a 5-day outreach plan that uses only free channels and aims to win my first 3 paying clients.

Include:
- exactly where to find these clients
- what to say to them
- a message template I can send today, written out in full
  4. Phase 4 — Price the service in 3 tiers
    My service: [service]
What I charge now: [amount, or "no pricing yet"]

Task: analyze the real value I deliver, then build a pricing structure with three tiers (starter, core, premium) that maximizes my income without pricing out my ideal client.

Present the tiers as a table.

    My service: [service]
Monthly income target: $[target]
Time limit: at most 15 hours of work per week

  6. Phase 6 — From one-off projects to recurring revenue
    Current situation: [number] clients, each paying me [amount] per project.

Task: help me turn my offer into a monthly retainer model. Give me:
- clear deliverables for the retainer
- a convincing pitch

  7. Phase 7 — Scale to $4,000 a month without more hours
    My service business makes $[amount] per month today.

Task: give me a focused plan for the next 60 days to reach $4,000 per month. Use three levers: productized versions of my service, referral systems and strategic upsells. My working hours must not go up.
